I'm a user of Ned Konz's lockdown package to achieve what I would call
"Kiosk mode": complete disabling of everything in the Squeak UI except for what is allowed by "my" morphs. This works fine under 3.8. Today I tried it on 4.3. It mostly works -- no world menu, halos don't come up, but on Linux when I right-click (I forget which color button that is, I never did learn Squeak mouse button colors ...) this menu *does* come up. For the World this allows showing the docking bar, and from there you can get all kinds of things. So this is a hole. Has anyone run into this? Is there a fix? Ned, you out there? [Trying Bcc ...] -Thanks in advance, Jim |
Jim,
May I ask you for the reference to the source of Ned Konz's lockdown package? --Hannes On 1/9/13, Jim Rosenberg <[hidden email]> wrote: > I'm a user of Ned Konz's lockdown package to achieve what I would call > "Kiosk mode": complete disabling of everything in the Squeak UI except for > what is allowed by "my" morphs.

[Trying Bcc ...] Please let us know if you hear from Ned, it would be great to see his name back on the list once in a while too :) Dave > > -Thanks in advance, Jim |

You might try disabling the generalizedYellowButtonMenu in the Morphic preferences. That enables the personal menu which you can edit. In the Preference Browser, try disabling the morphic preference "generalizedYellowButtonMenu". This enables the personal menu which you can easily edit. |
I tried this on OSX. With the generalizedYellowButtonMenu disabled. I filed in Ned's lockdown code. Then, following Ned's instructions, I invoked the "lock image down" from the personal yellow button menu and saved as a new image. This image produces no menus from the desktop, left, middle or right click. |
With the generalizedYellowButtonMenu enabled, I get the same result you did. After lockdown, right clicking on the desktop brings up a mini world menu. Does anybody know what this generalizedYellowButtonMenu is for? It just brings up a reduced version of the world menu which seems redundant. It also masks the nice personalizable yellow button menu which is actually useful. |
